of the employers hnvo given In. London's
grcatcartlngagonclcsarn threatened , the van
drivers expressing a determination to go out

railway stations In the rTver and along the
streets , who intercept and generally bIng
over the laborois brought from the provinces
by the dock authorities to assist In unloading
ships. Never before has the business nf the

or Times Stock.
CniCAOO , August 37. [ Special Telegram
to Tun UEB.I As a result ot the recent con
troversy over the management of the Chicago
Times n Warrant for the arrest of James J ,
Went , the ox-editor of that paper , was sworn
out. shortly after the noon hour to-day by II ,
J , Hulskamp , ouo ot the proprietors of the
paper.
West Is charged with nn over issueot
ntock of the Chicago Times company to the
amount of $100,000 , contrary to the statutes
of the state of Illinois. The warrant was
sworn out before. Juatlco David J. Lyon , and
n constable was sent out at once to , lintMr. ] [
West , who is m the city , having boon soon
upon tha street last evening in company
with Mr. F. P. Dunn , ox-city editor of the
Times , who is a warm personal friend of
Mr. West and who was asked to walk the
plank with his superior when the Hulskamp-
Irvvln syndicate canio Into possession ot the
property.
The rather radical move of Mr. Hulskamp
in deciding to nrrest Mr.Vest was the ro-
suit of an all night conference between the
present proprietors of the Times , Messrs.
Huiskamp , Irwin and Wiogloy , and tbo at-
tornovs for the Timed , Luther Laflln Mills
and Frank Walker.
It was Hinted nt the conference between
the above that Mr. West had in the last few
days been Industriously circulating the report -
port tliat the present management of the
Times was doomed , and ihnt ho ( Mr. * West )
owned seven-tenths of the stock in the paper
and that at a meeting of wealthy gentlemen
yoHtcrday Mr. West had bnnn pledged nil
the support llnanclally ho would require.
Mr. West , It was said , had laid out the staff
ho intended to nuvo on the Times , mnkintr
Mr. Dunn edltor-ln-chlof. These reports
wcro more or less demoralizing to the
employes of the paper and the
owners of the Times decided to prove to the
public Just what interest Mr. West had in
the paper.
About 3 o'clock this afternoon Mr. West
and Mr. William A. Paten , accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Hnstko , appeared nt the
Tunes building and entered the elevator.
Some one m chniga tried to eject them , and
luring the discussion the elevator was
tnrtod carrying the whole party to the top
floor , where Mr. Hulskamp. Mr. Dunlopnnd
tiior gentlemen wcro m session as directors
if the company. Mr. West effected an oti-
ranco long enough to produce an Injunction
Hsuud by Judge Jamlcson this morning re
training Messrs. Hulskamp , Dunlop und
ithers from acting as directors. This brought
ho meeting to an abrupt close , and at 3:30 :
Vclock the situation was about as follows :
Messrs. Hulskamp and Dunlopnnd , their
rionds wcro in secret conference as to their
plan of action , while Messrs. Wist nnd
Pnton wcro walking the floor outside and
awaiting the outcome.
Just at this juncture Constable Lavvler
itopped in with his warrant , und with a
lulling bow said :
"Is this Mr. Wcstl"
"Yes , sir , " was the answer. "Arc you
/onstablo Lawlorl"
"I um , " the polite server of the processes
replied with a bow that was Chestorfioldan
n Its calm dignity.
Mr. West hesitated but a moment and
hcn , in 9 very off-handed-way , said , "AH
right lot's go over to Justice Lyon's ofllco , "
und they went.
After Mr. West loft the building in the
constable's company Mr. Dunlop reported
his version of the affair , ho said :
"Tho board of directors were in session
when Mr. Paten , a former member of the
board , appeared. Mr. Paten had resigned
and his resignation bad been ac
cepted and ho had no right
there , but ns a matter of
coui tesy ho was admitted. Once inside the
room ho produced the injunction issued by
Judge Jamioson. Mr. Graham , the private
secretary to Mr. West , then tried to force
his way in and was promptly arrcstoj 011 the
charge of assisting in the issue of fraudulent
stock. You can rest assured that the Tunes
will icmnin in charge of its present man
agers and that there will bo no change , This
whole thing is a rank bluff and It won't
work. "
West's bail was fixed at $10,000 , which ho
furnished. '
The other spectacle was from Tenth street
up Grand avenue. In the for-'cround was a
solid phalanx of human beings , n sort of at
mosphere of bright colors and good nature
covering It all. A little further on was the
reviewing stand with its drapery and freight
of dlaniturios and newspaper men , and then
in the distance the yellow plumes of the
light horse squadron iroving dowa the hill at
the head of tub arcat column between solid
walls of cheering humanity , The crowd and
the police both kept In food humor , and
there- were no serious collisions. Down
Grand avenue from Fifth street every win
dow und place where ouo could stand or sit
was taken. Every window of the Plaukin-
tou house blossomed out in fair faces and
shapely forms.
It was a day of beauty and of joy.

The Soldiers' Dar.
MILWAUKEE , WK , August 27. [ Special
Telegram to THE BUB. ] Yostcrdav was the
day of hand shutting nnd sociability among
the veterans. No ordnr was thought of , and
the private was , as great a man as the gen
eral and was on familiar terms with him.
To-day the conditions nro different. This
Is thn real Grand Army day , when the men
fall Into line und obey orders , whou the oni
cer receives as his right the regulation salute
of his subordlnato.
The old soldier this morning as ho rolled
out nf his bunk of straw or from under the
counterpane , as the case might bo , Instinc
tively gave himself an extra shulto for uppoar-
auce's sake , smoothed out a few wrinkles in
his clothes or brushed from them the dust
of travel. It was the day ot dtcss parade ,
and the veteran who was not anxious to look
well and desirous that his company or regi
ment should make a coed appearance was
not worthy of his name.
This morning the cities and towns of the
state seomoa to have emptied themselves In
Milwaukee. In the hotels the crush was
terrible. It was all ouo cauld do to force his
way through. In the Plankmton house espe
cially , whcro General Sherman , General Al-
ger , Commissioner Tanner and Mrs. Logan
were , crowds wcro standing around wait-
ng to got a glltnps'o of the distin
guished parties. Mrs. Logan , coming
down the st6ps from the largo
dining hall about 9 o'clock leaning on the
arm of General Algar , was forced to hold
nn Impromptu reception , as a crowd of vet
erans from ouo direction nnd a bevy of la-
die ! , from the opposite direction rushed to
greet her.
Mrs. Logan had n distinguished appear
ance us she stood a stop above the crowd before
fore her. her ruddv face sot in a frame of
silver white hair wreathed in smiles She
seems never to tire of receiving the greet
ings of "tho boys , " and certainly the boys
never tire of greeting her. She divides
the honors with General Sherman.
Though the parade was not to start from
Twenty-second street until 10 o'elock'psoplo '
began to seek advantageous positions from
which to view the line us early ns 8 o'clock.
In fact these from the interior towns who
came in as early as 7 o'clock hied them at
once to suitable positions and there held
their ground till the veterans had passed by.
The day was perfect , despite the premo
nition of rain during the early morning
hnurs , and everything favored the success
of the grand parade.
The parade , while not so largo as some an
ticipated , was well managed , n fine spectacle
and n complete success. Athingromarkablo
in the history of big processions was that it
started on time. Tno hcud of the columns
began to move at 10 o'clock and reached the
reviewing stand on Grand avenue at 10:8l : ) .
A conservative estimate of the number of
men who passed that point plaios it at
35.0CO.
A noticeable incident of the parade was
the enthusiasm of the old veterans when
ever they caught a glimpse of General Sher
man. Ho was greeted with round after
round ot cheers while the bands forgot their
admonition not to ' '
play 'Marching Through
Gcoruia , " and the grizzled old hero of the
triumphal march through the south had to
listen to the tune that has dinned in his ears
ever since the war closed. Occasionally a
veteran in the ranks would break out with n
sally at his old general , ' 'Oh , you'll live to
flcht through another war , " while another
shouted , "How about these chickens ? " To
the latter's Interrogative General Sherman ,
wha was as tickled as a school boy , replied :
"Oh , I never took the trouble to inquire
whcro they cnmo from. "
The Pennsylvania delegation made the best
appearance of any post in the line , and were
conspicuous for their soldierly bearing
throughout the entire parade.
There were two magnificent spectacles to
bo seen about the time the paraao started.
Ono was obsorvublo.f rom the intersection of
Eighth street on Grand avenue. Looking
down the avenue to the bridge , with the
gaudily bedecked bridge as a background and
all the way up on both sides of the street as
sldo lights , the great , seething mass pre
sented a panorama which no one- who saw it
is likely to forget In a lifetime. It was grand
and imposing , und how gay it looked withal.
Thcio was breczo enough to keep the banners
and floes fluttering aud tbo lively movements
of the Individual components of the great
mass suggested that the whole was being
stirred by pleasing emotions and the flags
and the people wcro all dancing to the same
Joyous music.
Louis Story , a member of a Minneapolis
post , fell ill whils inarching through the
street last night , and is now in the hospital.
Ole Oleson , of East Lake , Mich. , who was
coming to the city with the Man is too post on
a steamer , while sleeping on the deck , rolled
overboard and drowned last night.
Overflowing camp flies were bold at var
ious poluts In the city. Contrary to general
expectation General Sherman failed to put
In an appearanceat either of the principal
meetings. Prominent speakers were hoard
at all the meetings , including Commandor-
in-Chlof Warner , Commissioner Tanner ,
General Fnlrchild and others.
A monster war song concert was given In
Juneau park. Mrs. John A. Logan was
given a reception at the court house and was
escorted bv the entire Illinois department of
2,000 veterans.
Most of the state delegates met
In caucus to-night on the choice
of a coinmander-ln-chlof. The New Eng
land delegation and Minnesota agreed
Informally to support Judge Veazey , of Ver
mont. Ohio and Illinois decided to support
General Algor , who will also , of course , re
ceive Michigan's vote. Now York and Penn
sylvania did not commit themselves.
The choice for the next place of mooting
lies between Washington , Boston aud Sara
toga.

o Now York la his attempt to laduco the
Trunk lines to inako pro-ratios nrrnnpo-
nonta on business to St. Paul oueht to open
tha oycs of the public , " said the gouoral
manager of a prominent western -road
to-day. f
"I don't believe Chdlrman Frtlthorn will bo
successful In securing the co-Operation of the
Trunk lines , but ha will certainly press the
question enough to learn why they rofuso.
That Is exactly what wo want to know. All
wo nsk Is precisely the same Arrangements
Lluiy grant the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk , nud. If they refuse we want to know
the reason for the refusal , The Canadian
roads are driving- null In Ihcir coffins for
every day that they carry freights at the
present rates to the ndrthwost. If they pay
all thov barely ploy ovVsn with their easy
traffic arrangement- * with trunk linos. Wo ,
in Chicago , are completely cutoff from traffic
arrange me tits nnd must , pay full local rates
on business destined to the north
west. That , in t n nut shell ,
is the cause of the Whole Northwestern do-
moralbatlon which. My the way-is by no
moans settled. To make any money the
Clilcapo-St. Paul roads must get their share
of northwestern through business and at re
munerative rates.
"And now much do you suppose the St.
Paul lines have been , carrying during the
summer ! The amount Is laughably small m
view ot the disturbance It raised. I don't
behove all the roads combined carried five
cars n week to St. Paul , whether
received by rail . .or loko and
mil. The reason is perfectly manifest The
09 cent rata to St. Paul is not exorbitant ,
but it has to bo cut to ' ' 15 cents to barely
meat tha Canadian Pacyio rato. Of course
the lf > cent rata was a loping ouo. but it was
low enough.to ffiukon tiia Canadian Pacific.
You see we were simply feeding them some
of their own medicine. 'Thoy reduced rates
on us and froza us outxif tbo business , and
we proposed to nmlto them carry tha traffic
at a losing rate If thoy'carried it all , as they
have bceu doing. Now you know exactly
why the recent wrangle occurred
"But , as I started out to say , tbo Canadian
roads will not win by .their hogsish policy.
Every one , congress included , must see that
wo are being deprived of business properly
belonging to us und I believe wo will get re
lief. Before then , however , wo will learn
Lho names of the trunk lines who favor
Canadian lines. If tnoy do not inaka equally
ibcral arrangements with us the benefit they
gained by their Canadian advances will bo
short lived. "

SAN FHA.NCISCO , August 'J' . f Special Tele
gram to Tin : Bee , ] Great Interest was
tnkon to-night In the fight between Jack
Dompso.V and La Blanche , 'Tho Marino , "
which occurred under the auspices of the
California Athletic club. Four thousand
porsous witnessed the set-to ,
Hiram Cook acted as referee.
The betting for several days has boon in
Dcmpsoy's favor. Both men entered the
ring in flno condition , Dempsey weighing 107
and La Blanche 101 pounds.
Tluio was called at 0:35. :
The Marino forced the fighting in the
early part of the contest and several sharp
blows wuro exchanged ,
In the fifth round the Marino clinched nnd
throw Dempsey to the floor amid a storm of
hisses nnd applause. Sharp in lighting fol
lowed.
In the sixth ho lifted Dempsey on his hip
and tried to throw him , following this with
several rushes nnd accomplishing little.
In the ninth La Blanche clinched and
throw Dempsey again amidst cries ot "foul , "
During La Blanche's rushes In the tenth
Domoaoy struck him two staggering blows
on tha JaW ,
After the gong had rung for the close of
the round the Marino struck Dempsey in the
face and retired to his corner. Dampsoy
walked over to him and landed a hard one on
the Marino's neck \\hleli made the latter
groggy.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth Dempsey
got m several had ones on the Marino's * Jaw
and chest und the Mat ino seemed unsteady.
In the sixteenth LaBlancho resumed his
rushing tactics , but after a clinch Dempsey
landed with awful force on his nose. Ho
repeated some of these staggerers in the
seventeenth , eighteenth und nineteenth ,
iu the latter round gaining the ilrst knock
down of the light by a tremendous blow on
the Marino's nock.
Dempsey continued to pursue his aggressive
sive- tactics , nnd in the twenty-third round
the Marino was showing the effects of his
punishment. During the clinch , however ,
ho pounded Dempsey hard on the ribs. In
the twenty-sixth Dempsey forced his op
ponent into his corner and pounded him in
the neck. La Blanche slugcrorod like a
drunken man. Before the close of .tho
round , however , ho recovered astonishingly
and caught Dempsey hard.on tbo neck.
Dempsey \vas knocked out in the thirty-
second rcund.
Not 1 heir 1'irst Fight.
All day yesterday and up to la to last night
tbo ono theme of conversation among the
sports wan the Dcmpscy-Marino fight , and ,
while the majority of the knowing ones ex
pressed themselves as confident that Jack
would win , there was a goodly number who
considered the Marine's chances of victory
very good , and some considerable- money at
the odds of UVo to ono was laid at the Dia- ,
mohd last night to this effect.
This was not the first meeting of the two
men. They fought a most desperate battle
a little over three years ago , at Larchmont ,
on Long Island Sound , Dempsey knocking
the Marino out in tha thirteenth round. It
was a Quccusbcrry fight , but the bloodiest
and hardest over fought in this country. Lo
Blanche hold his own m gi eat form for seven
or eight lounds , in ono or
two of i which ho had much
the best of the Nonpareil , but In the tenth
round the tide of battle turned in Jack's '
favor. In this round , in breaking away from
a Plinch , Dempsey lauded his right ia on Lo
Blanche's Jaw , knocking him off his feet and
all but knocking htm out. The Marino's seconds
ends were loud In their claims of a tout , but
this the rcfcrco would not allow , but ordered
the men to go on and fight it out , and m the
thirteenth round Lo Blanche succumbed ,
being literally cut to pieces and Jabbed
into insensibility. Lo Blanche in
this fight was clearly outgoner-
allod , for ho was in the very pink of condi
tion , and bigger and stronger than ho will
ever bo again In his life. By clover ducking
and dodging Dempsey won the fight. The
Marino went Into It lllto a mad bull and un
dertook to rush the wiry Nonpareil oft the
face of the earth , but every rush was mot
with sallies of rights and lofts that soon
knocked the Ufa out of the ferocious Marine.
Although Dempsey was whipped , he docs
not lose the middleweight championship , as
the fight did not take place uudor the requi
site conditions.

When the history ot the United States
man-of-war Texas Is written It will bo likely
to dim some of tho- luster with which tiia
democratic ! organs have surrounded the east
administration , and especially that ot Secre
tary Whitney. Secretary Whitney began
Lho rehabilitation of the American navy
because congress first appropriated tha
money necessary for this just us Mr. Whit
ney began his term , The secretary
Imd about him all the sumo
_
naval constructors nnd' designer *
Lhat had been In the department for years ,
The saiiio men in ado the plans for the most
of the ships for which contracts are now out ,
who would have made them had It been a republican
publican Instead of a democratic administra
tion In control , but Mr. Whitney's backers
paid no attention to this. They were deter
mined that the first democratic secretary of
the navy sluco the war should hnvo the ere Jit
of expending Iho money which a democratic
congress Had provided and which the sumo
democratic- congress had refused to provide
for republican administrations.
Among the vessels to bo built were the
Mnlno nnd the Texas , two enormous battle
ships , which it was determined to construct
In the navy yufds Instead of permitting them
to bo built by contractors. Mr. Whitney
offered a largo sum for plans , which sum wna
finallyawarded to nn English concern. Tha
plans were nccopted and the vessel was
named the Texas and work begun Iu tha
Norfolk navy yard. Shortly after the keel
had been laid exports in naval construction
announced that there was some
thing wrong , nnd that the Texas
would never float If completed under the de
sign. Mr. Whitney caused the matter to ho
nvestigutod , mid criticism was hushed up
ay the statement that the experts had dis
covered that the Texas was all right. The
worB which had been suspended was begun
again and continued until a short time ago ,
when Secretary Tracy had his attention
called to the matter , nnd ho determined
to make a now investigation. For
SOUIQ weeks the ofllcors of the
construction bureau of the navy department
iiavo been making a careful estimate upon
the displacement of water which will follow
the launch of the Texas with her full ui ma-
ineut of heavy rifle guns. These calcula
tions have been drawn up In a formal report
nnd uro awaiting the secretary's return.
Willie the navy department pcoplo do not
feel warranted in giving out information con
cerning the matter , it is known that the
experts have convinced thcmsnlvcs that the
Texas cannot weather a five-knot breeze if
completed under the plans upon which she Is
being built. In fact it is said that she would
sink with the weight of her gun metal.
The Texas was designed to cost $3,000,000.
More than $330,000 have already been ex
pended upon her and this money is prac
tically wasted. It is believed that she will
have to bo cut In two and length-
sued out a great many foot to
bo of quy service , and that it will bo impos
sible to'malto her a first-class vessel-in - spite
of anything that can bo dono. The chances
arc that she will bo abandoned entirely nq'd
that the money will bo used In the construc
tion of an entirely now ship. 't
